I know this isn't an EMS related death, but he was somoeone I have worked with a lot over the years.

Officer Rodney Holder, a motorcycle officer, was hit during a traffic stop this afternoon.

All of us here will miss him a great deal. Please be thinking of APD, his family and those of us who knew him.

Thank you.

Assistant Police Chief Doug Wrenn said Holder was pursuing a speeding suspect northbound on Sayles shortly before noon when he collided with another vehicle. Holder's police motorcycle was reportedly struck by a vehicle turning across the northbound lane.

Holder was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The incident is under investigation.

Traffic was blocked off on Sayles and surrounding streets while the incident was being investigated.

Holder was a father and a husband. His wife, Annemarie, is a counselor at Austin Elementary School.
